The title names McLoughlin and Rice, and the record attributes it to the Bain News Service, though the date is unrecorded and the title is unverified. Maurice McLoughlin was an American champion in the 1910s, known for an aggressive serve-and-volley game that set him apart from the baseline style common at the time. Bain's agency photographers worked in that decade and later, supplying newspapers with quick news and sports pictures, so this small glass negative likely reflects the press demand for tennis images. Its modest size and format are typical of that working collection.
